*OPTIONAL HOMEWORK* If you arrange the Spelling List into "alphabetical order" and show it to me on Monday, you will get one sticker.^^

Spelling List

These words are taken from the pop song, the science book, Harcourt’s workbook, Megaflash etc. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is featured one more time, as I intentionally gave students the wrong spelling two weeks ago. This is to show them how vowels can change the phonics of a word.

Daily English

Here is this week’s Daily English. Some are from our weekly pop song, and others are from science and grammar. 8, 9 and 10 are “free response.” Please help students think about what they want to say. For number 10, I would like the students to ask me an interesting question. No one has asked for an easier list, so I think this is ok.

1. It’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious!
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

2. Insects have three body parts and six legs. Spiders are not insects.

3. Amphibians can live in the water and on land. They are usually born in the water.

4. Birds are the only animals with feathers. Some are closely related to dinosaurs.

5. Sentences always have a subject and a predicate.

6. My father drives his car quicker than lightening!

7. My chores at home are _____________and _______________.

8. I love my mother because she is ________, ________, and ________. (3 adjectives)

9. My favorite (insect/reptile/amphibian/mammal) is the _________, because ________.
